A New Competency for Effective Leadership

In most organizations, supervisors and managers are responsible for the largest employee populations - yet, according to Gallup Research, 82% of them are non-effective leaders. Many otherwise high-potential managers are simply blind to gaps in their situational awareness, emotional intelligence and relationship skills. This diminishes their effectiveness as leaders - and can inadvertently create stress that hinders performance, destroys engagement and discourages top talent.

This is why Harvard, Wharton, Stanford, Kellogg, London School of Economics, INSEAD and other top U.S. and international business schools have introduced Mindful Leadership practices into their core management curricula. Mindfulness is a neural training process that quiets, calms and focuses the mind - It reduces stress and distraction, and improves self awareness, self-control, empathy and active listening and other critical EQ competencies.

A Process that Rewires the Brain

Science-based mindfulness changes mindsets and behaviors by literally rewriting the structure and function of the brain. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the training process, a hands-on experience of mindfulness meditation, and the knowledge, tools and resources to get started and sustain a leadership-focused practice.

The Course Includes:

A deep dive into the nature, science, practice and outcomes of mindfulness

A rich experience of formal mindfulness meditation

A series of mindfulness strategies and best practices

A detailed 12-week roadmap for getting started, and staying on the path

A beautifully produced mobile app with guided mediations from the world's best teachers

"Mindfulness should no longer be considered "nice-to-have" for managers. It's a "must have" set of competencies - Mindfulness keeps our brain healthy and protects us from toxic stress - It gives us control over our emotions, improves our critical thinking, and helps us make better decisions" - Congleton, Holzel, Lazar, Harvard Business Press
